Subject:   cron jobs each running twice

Well, on top of everything else (see 'ahc - Invalidating pack' thread),
I now discover that my cron is running each job twice with the same
time stamp.  Tailing /var/log/cron appears to show the CMD messages
showing up close enough to silmutaneous that I can't perceive any time
lag between them.

I've killed ntp in case it was causing some miniscule time jumps, but
it's been dead for an hour now, and it's still doing it.

Mar 24 16:50:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11025]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
Mar 24 16:55:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11030]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
Mar 24 16:55:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11031]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
Mar 24 17:00:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11063]: (root) CMD (newsyslog)
Mar 24 17:00:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11064]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)
Mar 24 17:00:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11065]: (root) CMD (newsyslog)
Mar 24 17:00:00 blur /USR/SBIN/CRON[11066]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun)

Before anyone asks, no, there aren't two cron processes running, and there
aren't duplicate entries, or any percevable corruption in the crontab file.

This coupled with my other problems are strongly pointing me toward
motherboard problems, but before I completely commit, I thought I'd
raise the issue here.

Is there _any_ way this isn't a motherboard issue?

thanks,
bl
